The offices are pleasantly located in
the forepart OF the large sample room
so that customers coming in can go di-

In the rear of this large room is the

There is every reason to believe that in
few mon his the increasing business of
this institution will Recessitate third
removal into more commodious quar-
ters, and that this tins the bank will
enter upon premises of its own. A fine
site mas been secured, and if rumor is
to rs credited, il will not be long before
the erection Of magnificent building
will be commenced, and large and COM
mOdious quarters provided for the bank
itself; while room may probably be af-
forded in the new building where other
business may find it advantageous TO
rent quarters.
OF conrse nothing need be said Of the
sdgIsabllity of the saving of ones
money; and wherever a savings bank,
honestly managed, is established, it Is
blessing TO the community. 1t is so hard
for the average peIs0n to hold his saw
ings in his own possession and increase
dollar by dol AZ Of his earnings, because
when anything is really desired the
natural tendency fs to turn first to the
little store that has been laid away for
a rainy day. When, however, this
amount is put in a savings bank. the
pride of the individual is touched TO
keep it there, and as IL grows, the am
bition is rather TO add to it than
diminish it; AID many trlf]es in the
shape of Injuries that would have been

We can not have too many Of such

is, where Security is ensured, that they
may be pros 0ered as they deserve, and
thus prove a blessing TO many people
who would otherwise foolishly spend
their hsrdAesrnings. ~

Boom Them by Earnest and Con.
tinued Support.

There is no doubt that the past year
or two better feeling has existed than
heretofore in our community, in re-
cd to sustaining home institutions.
This is as it should be, 1eosuse every ia
dlvidual. or firm who manufactures an
article at home fnds employment for
a portion of our people, and thus far
assists in building up, not only par
ticular branch of trade for their own
profit, but the country also. We have
many such firms among our citizens.
there is still room for more. In the
Tannery line there are two firms that
should receive special mention, viz
q. @. NJ. l. and ]. W. Sammerhays s.
Co. he former are now running their
tannery to its full capacity, on sole
leather, and are turning ont an excel
lent article. They also find a ready
market for all they can manufacture,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-12-25

The latter are running their tannery
exclusively on sheep skins, and are
M sking all kinds of Lining, Roans,
Russetsr Saddle Lining, etc. They re-
port ready sale for their entire out
put. When asked what the greatest
drawback was, ii any, ."Shesp skins, -
was the reply. I'VE don't get enough
by good deal. and we have put
through 64tO0e already this season, and
we are still hungry for-moTe.,2-----.--. b..
% We, hagss as nice little concern as

with pride and ii we only get the skins
we can make 1t success. Uf course,
the more skins we put through, the
cheaper we can produce the stook, and
as We ind margins pretty small IN com
pe';ng with the east and west, why. Of
course, this is consideration to U.s."
This firm also does quite an extensive
Hide and Wool business. They report
both, branches as being very dull,
especially hide. There is no protection
on hi es, and they are being shipped
into the country BY thousands. New
Yo'k City has 400 900 of surplus alone.
The members of this firm also own and
run the Wasnakee Woollen Mills, at
w Ccb VI 6uO oLd
of Mooris & Co. Thsy report the mill
running on fulf time. the principal pro
duct being Stocking Yarn. When asked
a. to the outlook for the enterprise
paying (the mill having been idle about
tour years before this season. the reply
of one Of the doughty propriet0rs was:
"Well make it pay and don't you
forget it."
We are pleased to note this feeling
among most of our citizens engaged in
home manufacture. and we feel certain
thstgat no distant day good many
more OF these home institutions will
spring into existence, and when they
do our fair Territory will experience q
remarkable boom nothing will make 1t
boom equal to the lsboriug population
being fully employed. And when pub
lic-spirited men put their money into
channeis that will furnish the masses
work. they should be sustained by the
public. We are certain that the people
feel this wav. more so than they did a
few years ago. There is no doubt about
home manufacturing concerns paying
from now on, If they are run strictly on
business principles and generous pub
lie sustalns them as they should.

The Growing and Popular Dry
G0eds Merchant.

The name OF Spencer ClawsoH, the dry
goods merchant, has become as widely
known.assthat OF any other firm in the
Territory of Utah. Wisely condning
himself to that branch. of merohandis-
ing in which hs has had great personal
experience, and which, by special train
ing, he has quaiified himself to conduct
Mr.. Ciawson has made a success of the
Business where many Others would
almost inevitably have failed. His
quiet, effective, and energetic work has
told we'll; and his consummate knowl-
edge q the wants OF TIA people of this
Territory in the matter OF dry goods
has enabled him to keep pace with the
demands, and st the same time enabled
him to avoid carrying any supeIfiuous
grades and unmarksltable goods.
TIE surprising rapidity with which
goods go IN and come out OF this busy
establishment is. perhaps, the best
possible evidence of the popularity OF
the proprietor. And i demonstrates,
furthermore, the fact already stated
that he keeps familiar with the wants of
the people OF this Territory. Mr..
SiSWsouItak periodical trips to, the
eastern markets and by reason of his
personal contact with customers, he
has the most definite idea of the class
OF goods Which will and does find ready

Il anufactures oHer of those articles
which will oe most servi5esb!e, and
which are the most valuable IN the

name of Spencer Clswson has become
so wen and fsyorably known, and
because of his energy, and fair and
courteous treatment to his customers
is it that his representatives are also
favorablY known wherever they travel.
There is little doubt that Mr.. Claw

the foremost men in his business, so

the anticipated growth of Utah be
realised, We may look to see him keep

Season.

During the past summer, this firm
has made extensive Improvements in
It's store In the Hooper, Eldredge
Block" on the east side of Main Street
Originally, the store was so feet long,
but the extensive addition recently
made gives it length of 100 feet; while
a broad covered platform in the rear OF
the establishment gives ample room Tor
packing and unpscking of goods as
they may be coming in, or going out
daily.
The main room is 1O5 feet in length
and is used exclusively as a sample
room In which are displayed the various
articles that are carried By this growing
and energetic firm.
Few people imagine that SO extensive
a stock is necessary in business OF
this nature; but walk through the
large room, in which are displayed pile
upon pile of articles, yet EXHIBITING
only samples, one of kind, of the
goods carried, would change the ideas
of the uninitiated on this subject.
